When I had problems with ppp in the past, I compiled it debug and ran it as normal, then connected a gdb to it using attach and left it. If it freaked out, I could debug it properly with symbols. I have been using mpd recently with some success. I had a couple of problems with it which I will try to feed back to the author this weekend but it seems basically sound. The code quality seems much better than ppp but it does miss out on a couple of features (term, packet filtering, aliasing). If you need them, you can always use ipfw, I guess. -- Doug Rabson, Microsoft RenderMorphics Ltd. Mail: dfr@render.com Phone: +44 171 734 3761 These are not the opinions of Microsoft.
